The Complete Guide To Social Media Marketing For Startups [Infographic]

Today there are new startups popping up all over the place and even if you’ve got a one-of-a-kind concept and an amazing product it can be hard to stand out in the crowd. The new companies that we’re seeing rise to the top of the startup chain are those that know how to get the word out and build a social media buzz.

The problem is, a lot of startups are focused on the technology end of things and, as a result, the founders and first employees are engineers, programmers and high tech-savvy people, rather than social media-savvy people.
